Clinton ran on universal health care and failed to deliver. After that he didn't even try to fulfill any of his promises to voters. It's good that Royal is promising good things, but I'm not convinced she means any of them.

On the other hand, if she wins, it will be because of the new program, so she could interpret that as stridently left-wing equals popular. But then again, she could pull a Clinton and decide that any win must be due to the few conservative planks, like the one about the reform schools.
